Shimla, June 23

The Ojas Centre for Art and Readership Development (OCARD), Delhi, in collaboration with the Shimla Municipal Corporation, is organising the Shimla National Book Fair at the Gaiety Theatre here from June 24 to July 2.

Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu will inaugurate the sixth edition of the book fair. Shimla Mayor Surender Chauhan will accompany him. “Publishers from different parts of the country, including National Book Trust (NBT), are participating in the fair,” said Sachin Chowdhary, convener of OCARD India, while addressing the media here yesterday.

He said, “The basic objective of the event is to encourage reading habit among youngsters.”

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
